"I have some ideas, sure," she says easily enough, "but how those things will translate into your life, into a new path for you that feels right, that gives you what you need..."
She shakes her head.
"The details always get figured out along the way. Otherwise, I'm just shoving you into a mold, and I've got no interest in doing that to anyone. Mostly cause it doesn't work."
She picks up her cup.
"I told you the very first day: I want you to control your own narrative. I can give you ideas, help you smooth out the rough parts, but you're holding the pen. Not me."

Re: After the Vincent convo
He thinks of Othello, the book, not the man. He thinks of the way he had been presented. The truth, yes, but so ugly and stained with blood.
He doesn't cry for Emilia. Or Desdamona. Or any of the other lives that were twisted and ruined by his words and schemes.
He doesn't regret it, what he did, but he is finally ready to hear the way that he can rewrite a new narrative. Something where he isn't the villain.
"Alright," he says and extends a hand to her. "Let's write a story."

"Let's write a story," she says back.

He nods and pulls away, picking up his cup for a final drink.
"That's enough of that for a day. Breakfast tomorrow? I promise to be there this time," he chuckles.
Re: After the Vincent convo
"Plenty of excitement for today. See you tomorrow for breakfast, Iago."
